I think I’m in a cranky mood.

I blame a bunch of this on the fact that I haven’t heard from Michael in over a week and I’ve discovered that I can tell when he’s online even though I can’t message him.

This is making me even crankier. It’s very frustrating to know I could be engaging in conversation with him but can’t reach him.

arrgh!

I’m also getting bugged by the rudeness of people, which really started to annoy me last week and is only continuing in full force this week.

The first thing that got to me was at the correcting thing last week. It was a break, and as usual, the ladies room was packed. There were two sinks that weren’t working correctly, so we were all trying to politely wash up and move aside so someone else could get to the sink.

With the exception of this one woman.

She was in her forties and her hair was coppery red, cut to about chin length, and sprayed into one of those "purposely tousled" dos. She stood in front of the mirror, chatting with a friend, and spraying, picking and poofing with her hair.

Now I’m all for grooming, but this was downright rude, as people were clearly behind her waiting to get to the sink. What made it even ruder, was that there was a "primping mirror" just around the corner, that was roomy and had no customers.

I finally asked her to move so I could get to the sink and she looked up at the line that was waiting and said, "oh. I suppose I should get out of the way so other people can get to the sink".

Well, duh!

Then today I was at Marshalls in the checkout line, which was fairly long. They opened up another lane, and I went to stand there, when the woman who was in front of me literally RAN and knocked me into a display cart, so she could be first.

now I would have let her in front of me anyways, but she was so damn rude that I just said "run, run, run." And shook my head.

The entire time she was checking out she bitched about me and how rude I was to try to get there before her.

I just kept shaking my head, which pissed her off even more. Then I started to laugh at her. I thought she was going to pitch a fit.

Obviosly she knew she was wrong or she would have gone on and on about it.

I was calm on the outside but on the inside I wanted to kill her.

I went home immediately.

It was clearly not a day that I should be out in public.

Would that be called check-out rage?

I came home and finished Harry Potter. It was a great book, but sort of dark and scary in spots.

Now I have to wait a year for the next one!

I did go to rehearsal tonight, which was not worth the time. I was totally uninspired and frustrated by little things. If I hadn’t needed to tape a couple of songs to see if I could pass them, I would have stayed home.

I guess I just need to find something to distract me from all these negative feelings I’m having.
